Chapter 20: Unexpected Unfolding (1)

The rain was heavy. The street lamps on both sides of the street and the light in the shops were softened and blurred by the thick humidity. Jiang Xiaoshi felt a little cold, he was dressed in a short suit, and he didn't even take an umbrella.

Perhaps he looked a little strange walking in the rain like this, and people pointed at him, walked around him, and occasionally the little girl seemed to scream when she saw him.

Jiang Xiaoshi didn't care about this, now his mind was full of meetings, and he had to tell the truth. The traffic light came red and he had to stop. Jiang Xiaoshi looked at his watch anxiously.

7:45。

There are still ten minutes before the appointed time, and Jiang Xiaoshi's current location is not far from his destination. The green light turned on, and Jiang Xiaoshi quickly raised his steps and crossed the road.

……

"Why haven't you come yet? Could it be that Mr. Jiang Xiaoshi is in some trouble? ”

Scarlet Feather stood up and looked out the window at the rain, a little worried. Mu Ling didn't care about this kind of thing at all, Jiang Xiaoshi would definitely come.

The hour hand points to eight o'clock little by little, and the clock in the store seems to be in a very classical style, clockwork machinery, and the pendulum swings back and forth.

Finally, the pointer reached the end and rang out. When the clock strikes for the third time, the door of the café is pushed open, and the sound of rain follows the visitors, followed by a leisurely "Welcome".

The door slammed shut, keeping out the sound of the rain.

The clock also struck the eighth time, and the eyes of the three people in the store were focused on that person, and no one spoke, as if they had robbed them of their ability to think. The store was quiet for a while, except for the rain on the man's body dripping on the wooden floor.

"Well, is there a young lady named Scarlet Feather here?"

The person who came looked at the shopkeeper, it was Jiang Xiaoshi who came to the appointment. leisurely subconsciously pointed over, Jiang Xiaoshi said thank you, but she didn't hear it.

What's that?

After Jiang Xiaoshi left, he reacted leisurely, but his legs were weak. She sat down and felt better, she thought about it for a long time before she remembered what she should do, took out her mobile phone tremblingly, and dialed the number that everyone knew - 110!

In this case, you can only hand it over to the police uncle!

As for Mu Ling Scarlet Feather, she could only pray for them, she waited anxiously for the busy sound of the phone, only hoping to get through quickly.

Finally......

"Hello?"

……

Why is Youran so flustered? Jiang Xiaoshi couldn't think of it, he walked to the corner, and two girls broke into his sight. One was Scarlet Feather, whom he had met, and the other looked like a thin girl, not very old.

"Ahh Mr. Jiang Xiaoshi!"

Scarlet Feather screamed, Mu Ling secretly screamed and quickly covered her mouth, whispered close to her ear, "Don't panic." ”

That's not Jiang Xiaoshi.

As I said before, in this world, there is a clear distinction between life and death. Once you die, you are no longer something that can be considered human. Jiang Xiaoshi is dead!

Whoever sees the empty void under the hood and the blood-colored section of his neck will not think that he is still alive. It was not just the rain that was dripping on the ground, but also the blood that had long since cooled.

Such an unreasonable thing like the walking dead can only be explained by evil spirits.

Mu Ling couldn't know when Jiang Xiaoshi died, before or after the call? But she found that Jiang Xiaoshi didn't seem to be aware of her condition.

"That, hello, I'm Jiang Xiaoshi, I'm sorry to be late."

Even though he doesn't even have a head, he can speak, which is really weird.

"You, hello."

Although Scarlet Feather was afraid, she kept in front of Mu Ling, and Mu Ling looked at her trembling appearance and clenched Scarlet Feather's hand.

"Sit down." Jiang Xiaoshi sat opposite the two, and Mu Ling listened, but still pulled Scarlet Feather and sat down. I don't know what the situation is now, but it's better not to startle the snake.

"After receiving your call today, I went to Danhong's study and found a big secret!"

Jiang Xiaoshi opened his mouth first, his voice a little eager. Mu Ling and the two moved out little by little, planning to escape at any time. In order not to let Jiang Xiaoshi notice, the two of them moved slightly, their muscles were tense, and it was very laborious.

"What is it?" Mu Ling took the words, trying not to make his voice appear nervous.

Now she doesn't have much strength to deal with the evil spirits, and she doesn't even have a weapon in her hand, she fights the evil spirits empty-handed, Mu Ling doesn't want to die yet, it's too dangerous!

Mu Ling's hands holding Scarlet Feather were covered with sweat, not only her own, but also Scarlet Feather, Scarlet Feather had never encountered this situation, just imagine that there was a headless corpse sitting opposite and constantly talking, Scarlet Feather was not robbed of her mind by fear, it was a good thing.

Mu Ling clenched Scarlet Feather's hand, reassuring her while also observing Jiang Xiaoshi.

Jiang Xiaoshi was sitting precariously, his body motionless, looking very stiff. The fracture of the neck is miserable, irregular fractures, as if it has been torn by something.

Although he doesn't have a head, Jiang Xiaoshi seems to be able to see things, as if he has non-existent facial features under the hood. Mu Ling felt that Jiang Xiaoshi was looking at her face, which was also the reason why Jiang Xiaoshi didn't speak for a long time.

Have you been recognized? Mu Ling thought of the omnipresent wanted notice, but threw the idea aside for a moment, even if it was recognized by the evil spirit? It doesn't matter how you think about this kind of thing now, while Jiang Xiaoshi hasn't had a seizure yet, it is the most important thing to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

"Well, that's right." Jiang Xiaoshi didn't continue to care about her, Mu Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and listened to Jiang Xiaoshi continue.

"After talking to you on the phone today, I remembered that Danhong has been a little strange these days, he has been avoiding me to do something, it turned out that I didn't care, but I heard you say that the sleepwalking suicide incident was related to the car accident, so I went to Danhong's study."

"Danhong has always worked there, when I went in, the computer was not closed, he was still working there the day before, but now."

Jiang Xiaoshi's voice became more and more sad, and the rain on his body mixed with blood hit the floor, as if he was crying.

"Please take care of the condolences." Mu Ling said that he was afraid that Jiang Xiaoshi would be overly sad and suddenly go berserk, which is a common situation in horror movies.

"I'm sorry, I digress." Jiang Xiaoshi apologized, calmed down for a while, seemed to be rectifying his tone, and then he continued.

"I turned on Danhong's computer, and there was an open document on the desktop, and I looked at it and realized that it was Danhong's diary. But I know that Danhong doesn't have the habit of writing a diary, I looked at it from the beginning, and the time when the diary started was when the car accident happened!"

"I watched all the content for more than ten days, and then I found out that Danhong has been hiding a secret, and constantly repenting for this matter, he has long known that he will die, and he hopes to end it all through his own death. That's why he didn't tell me......"

"What's that?" Mu Ling couldn't help but ask, this is likely to be the key.

But suddenly, the door of the café was slammed open, and countless policemen rushed in. Youran stood up from behind the counter and ran over in a hurry, it was she who had called for help before.

"In the innermost! And two of my friends are here. ”

"Well, don't worry, we'll leave this matter to us." The leader, who looked like the captain, said, and asked a member of the team to escort him out leisurely.
